Episode 201 How to get faster for runDisney Races

In this episode of Running to the Castle Dr. Ali congratulates all the Princess Half Marathon Weekend finishers and dives deep into the crucial "what comes next" phase of the training cycle. 

She emphasizes that regardless of whether you finished a 5K or the multi-race challenge, every runner needs a structured two-week rest and recovery period to repair micro-tearing in muscles and ligaments. 

Dr. Ali explains how to utilize the "build phase" between major race weekends to focus on strength and speed without the competing priority of high-mileage long runs. 

By strategically increasing strength training and speed workouts now, back-of-the-pack runners can potentially shave 60 to 90 seconds per mile off their pace before the next training cycle begins in June.

Hi! I’m Ali. I’ve been in the health and wellness space since graduating with a Doctor of Physical Therapy degree in 2012. I worked in the typical outpatient clinic with active men and women with orthopedic injuries (shin splints, Achilles tendonitis, muscle and ligament tears, knee pain, IT Band pain, plantar fasciitis, and hip and knee arthritis until 2018 at which point I started Mobile Physical Therapy in Las Vegas, Nevada. Over the past few years I’ve transitioned to helping women running runDisney races after they’ve had an injury and they want to finish strong and enjoy the rest of their runcation.
